      • Maybe contact Jitsi directly?

      • Discussions on ideas with assoc editors, authors, revieres, public
    • Initially, open meeting every 3 months (replacing closed meeting)
      • See if that works and change frequency if necessary

    • Translations of articles published in other journals
    • Ideas floated at WP:MED
      • Could invite external peer reviews of core COVID articles (would be of a specific oldid but would likely be relatively rapid - would that be useful?)
      • Could invite external authors to contribute articles on corona-related topics that are still stub/start (any topic ideas)?
      • Could invite external contributors to help out on the core covid articles (but they'd need significant MEDMOS guidance)
      • We've previously experimented with 'partner articles' that go into more detail than appropriate on a WP page (similar to Gene wiki reviews, example) would one be useful for any covid-related topics?
